Lives In: Toronto, Canada

About Me: Mama to two sweet boys, Archer and Atticus, I now spend my days writing for travel publications and scheming up new family adventures and escapades. I have always been entrepreneurial at heart and am currently in the midst of launching my second business venture, a line of heritage-inspired baby garments, Petits Genoux (www.petitsgenoux.com). You can also keep up with my chief adventurers and I on my tumblr: www.theadventuresofatticus.tumblr.com

Hire Me For/I'm Good At: I enjoy working with brands as a spokesperson when the fit is natural and organic. Travel writing/editing and curating content.

Mama Inspiration: My own mother, my 95 year old grandmother and my best friends all inspire me on the daily. I also find motivation and influence in new surroundings, in the commotion and bustle of a crowd, in the kitchens of my friends and wandering the streets aimlessly with my littles.

Brands that most reflect your style or that you’d want to work with: Bugaboo to Rimowa and many in between.

Words you live by/quotes you love: “If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint’ then by all means, paint, and that voice will be silenced.” – Vincent van Gogh
